BOARD MATTER

1. MOMENT OF SILENCE (9:35 a.m.)

Chairman Bulova asked everyone to keep in thoughts the family and loved ones

of Mr. Ronald Kirby, who died tragically last week. He was 69 years old,

Director of Transportation Planning at Metropolitan Washington Council of

Governments (COG), an expert and incredible professional. During his 26 years

of service to the region, some of his major projects included the Wilson Bridge, I-

95 Express Lanes, the High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) Lanes, the I-66 Corridor,

and studying the concept of telework and how it affected traffic patterns. Mr.

Kirby is survived by his wife Anne, his two children Marilyn and Joseph, and a

host of family, friends, neighbors, beloved coworkers, and community members.

Discussion ensued, regarding the tragic loss of Mr. Kirby, his work and legacy,

and how he served the region.

Supervisor Herrity asked everyone to keep in thoughts the family of Clifton

resident and Clifton Lions Club member Colonel Kenneth S. Hitch, who died

recently at the age of 97. He was the Clifton Lions Club’s first district governor;

he served the County as a Colonel in the Army, and will be buried at Arlington

National Cemetery. He was a pillar in the Clifton community and will be sorely

missed. He is survived by his wife Kiyo.

Supervisor McKay noted that a keel-laying ceremony was held in San Diego early

in November to mark the first milestone in the life of the mobile landing platform

USNS Lewis “Chesty” Puller. His legacy is known to be one of the most

decorated Marines to ever serve this County. He was the father-in-law of Senator

Toddy Puller. This is a remarkable remembrance of his Military career and this

mobile sea base is expected to be delivered to the Navy in 2015.

Supervisor Cook noted that today is the 150th

Anniversary of the Gettysburg

Address, and encouraged everyone to take three minutes out of their time to read

it and remind themselves of the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln.

Supervisor Frey asked everyone to keep in thoughts the family of Mr. Francis

Dall who died recently. He started his career with the County as a football coach

and a teacher at Fairfax High School, before moving on to become head coach at

Lake Braddock High School, where he won a State Championship. He retired

from coaching and became the first director of student activities at Westfield High

School. He was an outstanding coach and was good with young people and left

an outstanding legacy at Westfield High School. He will be sorely missed.

Supervisor Hudgins asked everyone to keep in thoughts the family of Ms. Arlene

Whittick, who died suddenly at the age of 49. She was a resident of Reston and

was part of the Reston Association’s leadership, where her role was the

Neighborhood Outreach Specialist. She spent a lot of time working in the


community. Supervisor Hudgins also asked that the staff members of the Reston

Association be kept in thoughts as well.

Chairman Bulova asked everyone to keep in thoughts the victims of several recent

weather related tragedies/events in the Philippines and the Midwest. She noted

that she would present a Board Matter later in the meeting and share information

on how people can help.

(NOTE: Later in the meeting, Chairman Bulova presented her Board Matter. See

Clerk’s Summary Item #28.)

real estate value to 2.25 cents per $100.

County continue support for funding the Environmental

Improvement Program (EIP) for the upcoming fiscal year.

Non-motorized and multi-modal transportation options receive

priority as comments from the County-wide Dialogues on

Transportation are considered.

Chairman Bulova thanked EQAC for its work and noted that the report has

become a template for a way of capturing the County’s desire to move forward

with different initiatives and to keep them on track.

Discussion ensued, with input from Ms. Koch, regarding the recommendation on

the multi-modal effort and the work with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)

on the environment.

environmental opportunities on better stormwater management in those areas, and

pollution section, and noted that this is an area where the Board would continue to

need EQAC’s assistance in addressing the issue.

Supervisor Foust asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to publicize

District Service rate and its challenges.

meet that requirement.

Discussion continued regarding the impacts of deer in the County and the deer

management program in the parks.

Supervisor Gross raised a question regarding reverberation noise in high rise

buildings and asked EQAC to consider the impacts when looking at noise issues.

helping to steer the County through those issues through implementation of the

ordinance.

Supervisor Gross moved that the Board accept and approve the EQAC report and

refer it to staff for further discussion and action. Supervisor Hyland seconded the

motion and it carried by unanimous vote.

9. 10:45 A.M. – PRESENTATION BY THE LIBRARY BOARD (11:26 a.m.)

(BACs) Chairman Bulova announced that the following presentation was in response to a

Board of Supervisors’ (Board) discussion that began in September about a

reorganization that had been initiated. The Board received feedback from the

community expressing concern about a number of elements, including the library

discard practices and policies and the restructuring proposal. She added that the

Board requested that the reorganization be suspended and that the Library Board

http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/eqac


of Trustees, working with County staff, engage in outreach with the community.

She noted that the Board also asked that the professional staff within the Library

branches review the reorganizational initiatives and report with feedback.

William O. Jasper, Chairman, Fairfax County Public Library Board of Trustees,

gave a presentation and referenced the reports of the ad hoc “Communication and

Evaluation Committee” and the ad hoc “Floating Collections and Discards

Committee”.

Also present were:

Kristin Cabral, Dranesville District Representative to the Library

Board

Charles Fegan, At-Large Representative to the Library Board

Mary Petersen, City of Fairfax Representative to the Library Board

Elizabeth Clements, Mason District Representative to the Library

Board

David Molchany, Deputy County Executive

Sam Clay, Library Director

Chairman Bulova thanked the members of the community that participated in the

public outreach process, and recognized those in the audience.

Discussion ensued regarding the:

Single-Desk Model

“Beta Plan”, including new job classes, the Master of Library Science

degree, and children’s librarians

Floating Collections and Discard policy

The need for additional time to review the reports

Supervisor Gross asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to provide

the Board with a copy of Chairman Jasper’s statement. Without objection, it was

so ordered.

Discussion continued regarding:

Reporting with a timeline for implementation of recommendations

Community meeting rooms in libraries


Library facilities and functions, now and in the future

Budget issues and change experienced by libraries

The role of libraries in the community

Role of the Friends Groups

Chairman Bulova relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Gross and moved that

the Board:

Accept the Library's Communication Committee Report and

Discards Committee Report and the Library Board of Trustees

report

Direct the County Executive and Board of Trustees to follow

through on recommendations contained within the reports

Directs that the Board of Trustees and Library staff report with a

timeline for addressing the recommendations outlined by the

Library Board of Trustees by the Board of Supervisors meeting

scheduled for December 3

Discussion ensued regarding the timing of the Library Board’s next meeting.

Vice-Chairman Gross suggested that the Library staff develop the timeline in

consultation with the Board of Trustees; that the timeline be considered by the

Trustees at their December 11 meeting; and, that it then be transmitted to the

Board by December 15.

Additionally, Chairman Bulova noted that the need for increased funding was a

consistent theme in the various public engagement meetings - along with a

shortage of non-fiction materials. The Discards Committee Report includes data

that supports this claim: The Fairfax County Public Library’s Materials Budget in

Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 was $6.33 per capita; by FY 2011 it had declined to $2.11

per capita, significantly below the $5.90 per capita U.S. Average Materials

Budget, and it is even less today.

Therefore, Chairman Bulova further moved that a Consideration Item in the

amount of $1 million be put on the list for funding as part of the FY 2015 Budget.

This additional funding would strengthen the library's materials collection and be

directed to the acquisition of non-fiction works. More than 10,000 additional

materials could be acquired with this funding. Supervisor Hyland seconded the

motion.

Discussion ensued regarding the Consideration Item.


Supervisor Foust asked to amend the motion to read as follows:

This additional funding could . . . instead of would

This was accepted.


The timing of receiving the reports

The importance of receiving the community’s reaction to the

reports

Vice-Chairman Gross stated Supervisor Foust’s amendment to the motion as

follows:

That the Board accept the Library's Communication Committee

Report and Discards Committee Report and direct the County

Executive and Board of Trustees to develop a plan to follow-

through on recommendations contained within the report and

present the plan to the Board of Supervisors by a date certain.


The recommendations as presented by the Board of Trustees

Concerns about the use of the proposed $1 million

Additional funding and further cost savings

Preservation of the materials collection

Library facility renovations

Following a query to Edward L. Long Jr., County Executive, he explained his

understanding of how the process of follow-up on the recommendations would

proceed.

Further discussion ensued about implementing the recommendations in the

reports.

Chairman Bulova amended the motion as follows:

Accept the reports of the Communication Committee, Discards

Committee, and the Library Board of Trustees

Direct the County Executive and Board of Trustees to follow-

through to develop a plan regarding recommendations contained


within the reports and return to the Board of Supervisors with a

timeline and specific direction by the Board’s first meeting in January

2014

Replace “would” with “could” in the sentence, to read, This

additional funding could strengthen the library's . . . rather than would

strengthen the library’s . . .

The question was called on the motion, as amended, and it CARRIED by a recorded

vote of nine, Supervisor Frey voting “NAY.”

ADDITIONAL BOARD MATTER

28. SYRIAN REFUGEE BLANKET DRIVE (3:58 p.m.)

Chairman Bulova reminded the Board that the County has a Sisterhood

relationship with the City of Kecioren in Ankara, Turkey which has included a

college student exchange.

Recently, a delegation from Northern Virginia visited Turkey as part of a cultural

exchange organized by the American Turkish Friendship Association. The

Delegation, among others included Purcellville Mayor Bob Lazaro and Northern

Virginia Regional Commission Director Mark Gibb. The delegation's itinerary

included a visit to a Syrian refugee camp. It was a powerful experience for

members of the delegation.

Upon his return home, Mayor Lazaro updated his blog about his experience and

initiated a blanket drive for the Syrian refugees being sheltered in Turkey. The

blog entry can be found online at http://boblazaro.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-i-

saw-in-syrian-refugee-camp-how.html.

Chairman Bulova read an excerpt from his blog:

“During our visit I met a gentleman who fled Syria. He served his

hometown for 17 years as a Policeman. In a little more than 100

square feet he, his wife and four children live in a tent. They

cannot contact relatives remaining in Syria as they are afraid if

they contact them their remaining family will be lulled. They left

their home with little more than what is on their backs and have no

idea if they will be able to return if ever.

These folks need our help. With the onset of cold weather blankets

are in desperate need. As such a number of my local government

colleagues in Northern Virginia are organizing a blanket drive.

My request is simple; please drop off either new or gently used

blankets. Please deliver them clean and folded. Our goal is to fill a

shipping container that will then be delivered to Turkey where a

local relief agency (we met them on our trip) will distribute them to

the refugee families. We ask that donations of blankets be made no

http://boblazaro.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-i-saw-in-syrian-refugee-camp-how.html


later than December 5th

to ensure they are delivered in time for the

winter weather.”

Chairman Bulova said the County has a strong Faith Communities in Action

coalition and she has asked the Office of Community and Faith liaison to help

mobilize assistance for this humanitarian effort. She stated that several of her

colleagues have already agreed to have their offices serve as blanket donation

collection points and she asked that other Members of the Board consider doing

the same. A number of Faith communities have already agreed to serve as

collection points, including the Church of the Latter Day Saints Stake in Chantilly

and several County mosques.

Therefore, Chairman Bulova relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Gross and

asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the Office of Public Affairs and

the Office of Community and Faith Liaison to help share information about this

opportunity to help. Without objection, it was so ordered.

Additionally, with the recent events in the Philippines and tornadoes in the

Midwest, she shared information about the best ways to be of assistance. She

asked everyone to please consider donating to the Red Cross by visiting

www.redcross.org or calling 1-800-REDCROSS.

(NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, Chairman Bulova mentioned the victims of

weather related events. See Clerk’s Summary Item #1.)

Supervisor McKay moved that the Board concur in the recommendation of staff

and approve and authorize the Chairman, on behalf of the Board, to sign a letter

transmitting comments and suggestions on the Transportation Planning Board’s

Draft RTTP. Supervisor Foust and Supervisor Gross jointly seconded the motion.

with input from Mr. Wigglesworth, who noted that the comment period ends

Delete all of the comments on pages 53-55

Revise the letter, dated November 1, 2013, which was sent to the

director of the Department of Transportation Planning, to include a

statement noting that the comments originally submitted on pages

regarding the proposed comments on the express toll lanes, Supervisor McKay

asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to reword the comments and

report to the Board later in the meeting, after Board Matters are presented.

44. REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF APPLICATION FEES FOR THE

SPRINGFIELD HOST LIONS CLUB CHARITIES 2014 FLEA MARKETS

(LEE AND MASON DISTRICTS) (7:45 p.m.)

Supervisor McKay said this Board Matter is jointly with Supervisor Gross,

requesting a waiver of the application fees for permits associated with the flea

markets held by the Springfield-Franconia Host Lions Club Charities,

Incorporated. The Board has approved this waiver request annually since 1994.

http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/chairman


He said the Springfield-Franconia Host Lions Club Charities, Incorporated

recently contacted him to express appreciation for help in the past and to ask for

support of a waiver again this year.

The flea markets are held twice a month on Saturdays from April through

November at the Virginia Railway Express parking lot off Backlick Road. All net

proceeds from the flea markets are returned to the community. The Springfield-

Franconia Host Lions Club Charities, Incorporated supports organizations such as

Koinonia, ECHO, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and assists indigent

citizens with eye glass prescriptions and hearing aids.

Therefore, Supervisor McKay moved that the Board waive the application fees for

21-day permits associated with the Springfield Host Lions Club Charities 2014

flea markets. Supervisor Gross and Supervisor Herrity jointly seconded the

motion and it carried by unanimous vote.

45. REQUEST FOR RECOGNITION OF KOREAN-AMERICAN DAY

(SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT) (7:46 p.m. )

Supervisor Herrity said that for over a century Korean-Americans have been

immigrating to this country, bringing with them their own unique history and

culture, and making America that great melting-pot that it is. The Korean-

American community here in Northern Virginia is a thriving one, with a strong

sense of community, family, and an entrepreneurial spirit that epitomizes the

values that we as Americans all share.

January is an important month for Korean-Americans in the community, for in

December of 1902 a group of 56 men, 21 women, and 25 children traveled from

Korea across the Pacific Ocean, landing in Honolulu, Hawaii, on January 13,

1903. This event marked the first entry of Korean immigrants onto US soil, and

the date of January 13 has since been recognized as national Korean-American

Day.

Celebrations will take place all over the country, and here in the County the date

will be celebrated in one of the large epicenters of our local Korean community

(Annandale) at the Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC), in the Ernst

Cultural Center, on Sunday January 12, 2014. The celebration is being hosted by

the Korean American Foundation of Greater Washington.

Therefore, Supervisor Herrity moved that Board recognize January 13, 2014, as

“Korean-American Day” in Fairfax County and direct staff to prepare a

proclamation, which he attached to his written Board Matter, to be presented at

the Korean-American Day celebration at NVCC on the January 12, 2014.


Supervisor Herrity invited Board Members to attend the celebration of the

Korean-American Day.

Supervisor Smyth seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of nine,

Supervisor McKay being out of the room.

47. ACQUIRE SURPLUS LAND FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF

TRANSPORTATION (VDOT) FOR FUTURE TRANSPORTATION USES

IN MERRIFIELD (PROVIDENCE DISTRICT) (7:47 p.m.)

Supervisor Smyth referred to VDOT’s plans to relinquish residual surplus

property associated with the Gallows Road/Lee Highway intersection project

under the requirements of Section 33.1-223.2:2 of the Code of Virginia, as

amended. The 0.31.0 acres of land, located on the west side of Gallows Road and

south of Strawberry Lane may be needed in the future to accommodate a turning

lane for a new road connection anticipated, in the Merrifield Comprehensive Plan.

The County needs to formally notify VDOT that this land is needed for future

transportation uses no later than November 21, 2013.

Therefore, Supervisor Smyth moved that the Board direct the Chairman, in

consultation with Department of Transportation and the County Attorney's office,

send VDOT a letter expressing the County's desire to acquire the surplus property

for future road transportation use. Chairman Bulova seconded the motion and it

carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McKay being out of the room.

48. WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY TEAM (SULLY


Supervisor Frey announced that the Westfield High School Girls’ Field Hockey

team won the State Championship.

Therefore, Supervisor Frey asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to

invite the team to appear before the Board to be recognized for its outstanding

accomplishment. Without objection, it was so ordered.

49. RESIDENTIAL STUDIO UNITS (RSU) (7:49 p.m.)

In a joint Board Matter with Chairman Bulova, Supervisor Gross said that the

draft RSU Ordinance currently is the subject of many community meetings and

outreach by the Planning Commission's (PC) ad hoc RSU subcommittee. The

draft ordinance language would provide for small, efficiency-style, rental


apartments, predominately for low-income persons, and the use would be allowed

by special exception in most zoning districts. This summer, when the Board

considered language for the advertisement of the public hearings for the RSU

amendment, there was very pointed discussion about whether to include lower

density zoning districts. Ultimately, the Board decided to include all districts in

order to hear from the community, and the community has spoken. While there is

support for the RSU concept overall, there is deep-seated opposition to allowing

them as a use in lower density residential districts or single family detached

neighborhoods. Supervisor Gross noted that she has heard from many residents

who are very concerned, even angry, that the RSU ordinance, as currently drafted,

might exacerbate overcrowding in some areas and dramatically change the

character of their neighborhoods.

The PC’s formal consideration of the RSU amendment was postponed until the spring, and it established a special RSU Committee to do additional outreach. The County Attorney has advised that, legally, the proposed amendment can be modified to eliminate RSUs as an option in the lower density residential districts and still adhere to the "uniformity requirement" codified in Va. Code Ann. 15.2-2282 (2012) and the Equal Protection Clause of the United States’ Constitution as long as the minimum number of RSUs permitted in a development is increased from 3 to at least 30 units, and onsite property management and/or supportive services are provided. Removing from consideration F. Option 1, (which would allow conversion of a single family detached residence into RSUs) listed on page 10 of the August 27, 2013, staff report, would address the many concerns raised by constituents. F. Option 2, also on page 10, is the better choice.

At its November 14 meeting, the Chairman of the PC’s RSU Committee

announced his intent to recommend that the ongoing review of the proposal

should focus the location of RSUs in the upper R-Districts, as well as commercial,

industrial, and mixed-use planned development districts. That recommendation

would eliminate the lower R-Districts from consideration.

Supervisor Gross moved that the PC be notified that the Board concurs with this

amended approach. Chairman Bulova seconded the motion.

Discussion ensued regarding the motion and the process.

Supervisor Herrity asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to report

with information and justification for the 80 percent figure. Without objection, it

was so ordered.

Chairman Bulova referred to the language in the Board Matter and clarified that it

now reads:

While there is support for the RSU concept overall, there is deep-

seated opposition to allowing them as a use in lower density

residential districts or single family neighborhoods.


Supervisor Hudgins stated for the record that she would not support the motion.

The question was called on the motion and it CARRIED by a recorded vote of of

nine, Supervisor Hudgins voting “NAY.”

50. ANNANDALE HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING ATOMS (MASON


Supervisor Gross asked unanimous consent that the Board applaud the

achievement of excellence of Annandale High School Marching Atoms and direct

the Office of Public Affairs to invite the Annandale High School Marching Band

Director, Adam Hilkert, and the Atoms’ Drum Majors, to appear before the Board

for recognition. Without objection, it was so ordered.

51. CHARLES STREET COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT

AUTHORIZATION (MASON DISTRICT) (8:06 p.m.)

Supervisor Gross said that at the October 29 Board meeting, a Board Matter was

supported unanimously to authorize a Comprehensive Plan amendment to

consider additional commercial uses that may include drive-through services and

expansion of the Community Business Center (CBC) for Tax Map Parcels 61-2

((17)) (D) 1, 3, 4, and 5 and 61-2 ((18)) 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the Bailey's Crossroads’

CBC, and stated that she would like to amend the previously supported language

to also include Tax Map parcel 61-2 ((18)) 5, a contiguous parcel, for

consideration of the same aforementioned uses.

Supervisor Gross moved that Tax Map parcel 61-2 ((18)) 5 be added to the

Comprehensive Plan amendment. Supervisor McKay seconded the motion and it

carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Smyth being out of the room.

52. DEFERRAL OF PUBLIC HEARINGS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED

COUNTY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE (8:07 p.m.)

Supervisor Gross said that on September 10, 2013, the Board authorized

advertising of amendments to the Code of the County of Fairfax, and the Public

Facilities Manual (PFM) to implement the Virginia Stormwater Management

Program (VSMP) Permit Regulations. Public hearings were scheduled before the

Board on December 3, 2013. The State Water Control Board is considering

adopting additional changes to the VSMP Permit Regulations and the General

Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activity at its meeting on

December 17, 2013. Therefore, it is necessary to postpone the Board hearings

until January to give staff the opportunity to fully evaluate the State's changes,

provide a full explanation to the Board of what is going on in a revised staff

report, and incorporate any needed changes to the County's advertised

amendments.


Supervisor Gross moved to defer the public hearing scheduled for December 3 until

January 28, 2014, at 4:30 p.m. on proposed amendments to the following chapters

of the Code of the County of Fairfax:

Chapter 124 (Stormwater Management Ordinance)

Repeal of Chapters 105 (Pollution of State Waters) and Chapter 106

(Storm Drainage)

Chapter 101 (Subdivision Ordinance)

Chapter 104 (Erosion and Sedimentation Control),

Chapter 112 (Zoning Ordinance)

Chapter 118 (Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance)

Appendix Q (Land Development Services Fees) of The Code of the

County of Fairfax, Virginia, regarding implementation of the Virginia

Stormwater Management Act (Va. Code Ann. § 62.1-44.15:24, et

seq.)

Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit

Regulations (9 VAC 25-870)

Chapter 6 (Storm Drainage) and Chapter 12 (Vegetation Preservation

and Planting) of the PFM regarding water quality controls, adequate

outfall detention, maintenance of stormwater management facilities,

and replanting of disturbed areas

Chairman Bulova seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.

Center at Lake Anne) and the 2013-2014 Hunter Mill Winter Coat Closet (November

9 through March 15 at the Community Room of the North County Government

Center).

54. RECOGNIZING JOHN T. FREY, CLERK, COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,

FOR HIS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT (8:10

p.m.)

In a joint Board Matter with Supervisor Frey and Supervisor Herrity, Supervisor

Cook announced that County Circuit Court Clerk, John T. Frey, was recently given

an open government award from the Virginia Coalition for Open Government.


Supervisor Cook noted that Mr. Frey was given the honor for making court

records available online. The Virginia Coalition for Open Government is a

nonprofit alliance formed to promote expanded access to government records,

meetings, and other proceedings at the state and local level. Founding members

of the coalition include USA Today, Associated Press, the Freedom Forum, the

Virginia Genealogical Society, Library of Virginia, and more.

Therefore, Supervisor Cook asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff

to invite Mr. Frey to appear before the Board at a later date to be recognized for

his recent award as well as his long history of service to the County. Without


55. LONG TERM CARE COORDINATING COUNCIL (LTCCC)

RECOMMENDATIONS ON TAXI CAB CERTIFICATES (8:11 p.m.)

In a joint Board Matter with Supervisor Hudgins, Supervisor Cook said that on

November 14, 2013, the LTCCC submitted a series of recommendations in

response to the Consumer Protection Commission (CPC) and the Department of

Cable and Consumer Services (DCCS) proposed increase of 39 taxicab

certificates in the County.

Supervisor Cook noted that its report puts forth many worthwhile suggestions and

highlights the following general concerns with the current taxi cab system in the

County:

It does not adequately meet the needs of residents who need

accessible taxis

It does not fully incorporate taxis as an element of the

transportation system

The LTCCC response stands in stark contrast to the recommendations of staff;

plainly stating that the proposed 39 additional taxicab certificates, which includes

only two wheelchair accessible taxis, is not nearly enough to meet current

demand. It cites as an example Springfield Yellow Cab who state that at least two

hours notice is necessary to secure an accessible cab and that 24 hours is really

what is needed. Readily accessible and affordable transportation is a critical need

for older adults and people with disabilities if they are to be able to remain

independent and stay in communities. The lack of available, accessible cabs has

long been common knowledge for people with disabilities. According to the 2010

census, almost 17 percent of County residents 65+ in age and living

independently have difficulty walking. One specific request made by LTCCC in

this regard is that taxi companies operating 25 or more taxis have 6 percent of

those taxis accessible and subject to periodic staff adjustment recommendations,

as opposed to the current 4 percent requirement.

Another interesting suggestion offered is that the Transportation Advisory

Commission (TAC) be included in the process. While acknowledging that the


CPC is well equipped to regulate the business aspects of the taxi industry in the

County the LTCC recommendations state that the TAC may be better qualified

for determining the number of taxis required to supplement transit and provide the

mobility needed by County residents, employees and visitors. The LTCCC paper

asks that, moving forward, the Board explore what the role of taxis will be in the

creation of a multi-faceted transportation model and how taxis can encourage

diverse and accessible transportation choices.

Therefore, Supervisor Cook moved that the Board direct the County Executive to

review and respond to the LTCCC’s proposed recommendations prior to the

Board's vote on the increase of taxicab certificates. Supervisor Hudgins seconded

the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
